Readers were stunned when the San Francisco Chronicle asked if
residents should "tolerate burglaries" amid rampant city crime in a
Friday tweet.


The piece explores the city's pursuit for criminal justice reform
while "debating how to manage rates of property crime that for years
have been among the highest in the nation."

Twitter users reacted harshly to the outlet's wording.

"Can you imagine living in a city where barricading yourself in your
home is considered a more viable option than (checks notes)…
arresting burglars??l" wrote Twitter user jason@calacanis.com.

"Think about how far gone the city of San Francisco must be for its
major newspaper to write the first sentence below as if it's a
reasonable civic question," another user, Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE
POISON*, wrote.

"Posting this so people who never lived in SF see the insanity we
are dealing with," wrote former UFC fighter, Jake Shields. "I saw it
was only Gonna get worse and fled a year ago but I have friends who
stayed convinced it will get better."

San Francisco has seen a substantial decrease in its police force
over the last few years, which some blame on left-wing and anti-
police policies coming from city officials.

"This brazen criminal behavior is endured every single day by San
Franciscans and it is the direct result of District Attorney Chesa
Boudin and his enablers’ criminals-first agenda," San Francisco
Police Officers Association President Tony Montoya said in a June
statement .
